How we calculate this. Figures come from live Labourer vacancies listed on YourJobs.co.uk, refreshed monthly. The median uses adverts that state pay; hourly and weekly rates are annualised (hourly × 37.5 × 52). Ambiguous or "competitive" salaries are excluded rather than guessed. Read the full methodology →
